Redoubt 4

When enjoying the countryside, it’s important to follow the Countryside Code to protect nature and preserve its beauty for everyone. This includes simple, respectful actions like not littering always take your rubbish home or dispose of it properly in bins. Stick to designated paths to avoid damaging crops or wildlife habitats, and keep gates and property as you find them, whether open or closed. Be mindful of livestock and wildlife by keeping dogs under control and not disturbing animals. By following these guidelines, you contribute to the protection of the environment and ensure that others can enjoy the countryside as well.

Redoubt 4 sits on a high point of the Rame Peninsula, with steep ground and uneven surfaces around the site. There’s no formal path into the redoubt and the ground can be rough, with slopes, grass and historic stonework underfoot. This means access may be challenging for wheelchair users, visitors with limited mobility, or pushchairs. There is no parking or visitor facilities on site, but nearby footpaths offer scenic approaches for those able to manage a walk. While not fully accessible, we’ve worked to improve how everyone can enjoy the site including through panoramic images, stories and digital resources that bring the fort to life from wherever you are.

There are no on-site facilities at Redoubt 4 so there are no toilets, café or visitor centre as the site remains largely untouched to protect its historic character. The redoubt is open to the elements, so be sure to dress for the weather and bring anything you might need. The nearest facilities, including parking, toilets and places to eat can be found in nearby villages such as Kingsand and Millbrook.

There is no dedicated parking at Redoubt 4 and the narrow rural lanes nearby offer very limited space for vehicles. Visitors are encouraged to park in Kingsand or Millbrook, where public car parks are available and then explore the site on foot via local footpaths. Please avoid parking in gateways or along access tracks, as these are needed by local farmers and residents.
